How to Wash Your Veggies & Fruit – a Brief Guide

November 29, 2012 - Leave a Comment

(Updated: March 2021 – non sponsored)

The “why”

Did you know that…

  • 99% of all cases of toxoplasmosis is caused by consuming raw meat or unwashed vegetable & fruit?
  • many food poisoning cases in Greece are a result of pesticide misuse?
  • adequately washing fresh fruit and vegetables before consumption can significantly reduce the residue that may be left on them during their journey to our kitchen?
And the “how”

Before you begin washing fresh produce, wash your hands well with soap and water. Μake sure that your sink and surfaces you’re using to prepare your produce are also thoroughly cleaned first. I like using a non-toxic all-purpose or multi-surface cleaner—my favorite brands, specific to the Greek market, are ECOS and Klinex (the Pure Hygiene line).

Begin by cutting away any bruised or visibly rotten areas of fresh produce. If you’re handling fruit or vegetables that will be peeled, wash them before peeling to prevent any surface bacteria from entering the flesh.

Wash produce as follows:

  • Firm produce

Fruit with firmer skins like oranges, apples, pears, etc can benefit from a soaking bath with just a splash of natural dish soap and vinegar or a baking soda bath. (Some research has suggested that using neutral electrolyzed water can be more effective at removing certain substances, but the consensus continues to be that cool tap water is sufficient in most cases.) Alternatively, you can use a fruit & vegetable wash. Spray enough to cover the fruit, let sit for a couple of minutes, rinse well, and wipe dry.

I’ve been a fan of the vinegar bath method for years until I discovered the ECOS Fruit & Veggie Wash, so now I frequently switch between vinegar and wash using whichever comes in handy at the moment of need. The ECOS wash is plant-based, washes away dirt, oils, and wax, leaves absolutely no odor or aftertaste on produce, it’s great for soaking, and last but not least, it hasn’t been tested on animals.

  • Root vegetables

Potatoes, carrots, turnips, etc can be brushed with a clean, soft bristle brush to better remove residue from their pores. Spray with a fruit and vegetable wash and/or rinse with plenty of cool tap water. Wipe dry.

  • Leafy greens

Spinach, lettuce, leeks, etc should have their outermost layer removed. You can then submerge them in a soaking bath with a few splashes of fruit and vegetable wash, vinegar, or just plain cool water. Let sit for a couple of minutes. Swish, drain, and rinse. Gently pat dry or better use a salad spinner.

  • Delicate produce

Berries can be soaked with a few splashes of fruit and vegetable wash or just plain cool water. Do not let them sit in the bath at all. Swish, drain immediately and rinse. Use a salad spinner to dry. You can wash grapes in the same way, but I suggest you snip them into small clusters first.

Never wash raspberries. You can use a small pastry brush to dust them off. Mushrooms are also not washed. Use a damp paper towel to wipe them clean.

Whichever method you choose remember that bleach should never be used to clean produce—ever!

Το «γιατί»

Ξέρατε ότι…

  • το 99% όλων των περιπτώσεων τοξοπλάσμωσης προκαλείται από την κατανάλωση ωμού κρέατος ή άπλυτων λαχανικών και φρούτων;
  • πολλές περιπτώσεις τροφικής δηλητηρίασης στην Ελλάδα είναι αποτέλεσμα υπερβολικής χρήσης φυτοφαρμάκων;
  • οι ειδικοί τροφιμών συστήνουν να μην τρώμε, να μη μαγειρεύουμε άπλυτα φρούτα, όσπρια και λαχανικά αλλά και να μην τα αποθηκεύουμε άπλυτα στο ψυγείο;
  • το επαρκές πλύσιμο των φρούτων και των λαχανικών πριν την κατανάλωσή τους μπορεί να μειώσει σημαντικά τους ρύπους που μπορεί να έχουν μαζευτεί κατά τη διάρκεια του ταξιδιού των προϊόντων προς στην κουζίνα μας;
Το «πώς»

Πριν ξεκινήσετε βεβαιωθείτε ότι ο νεροχύτης και οι επιφάνειες που χρησιμοποιείτε για την προετοιμασία σας είναι επίσης καθαρά. Μου αρέσει να χρησιμοποιώ ένα μη τοξικό καθαριστικό για επιφάνειες – οι αγαπημένες μου μάρκες είναι οι ECOS και Klinex (η σειρά Pure Hygiene).

  • Φρούτα με σκληρό περίβλημα ή φλούδα (πορτοκάλια, λεμόνια, μήλα, αχλάδια, κλπ.) μπορείτε να τα μουλιάσετε σε φρέσκο νερό με βιολογικό υγρό πιάτων και ξύδι ή με μαγειρική σόδα. Κάποιες έρευνες έχουν δείξει ότι το φιλτραρισμένο ηλεκτρολυμένο νερό είναι αποτελεσματικότερο στην απομάκρυνση κάποιων ρύπων αλλά γενικότερα εκτιμάται πως το απλό νερό της βρύσης είναι υπέρ αρκετό. Εναλλακτικά, μπορείτε να χρησιμοποιήσετε ένα βιολογικό υγρό καθαρισμού φρούτων και λαχανικών (εγώ χρησιμοποιώ το ECOS). Ψεκάστε επαρκώς για να καλύψετε τα φρούτα, αφήστε το για μερικά λεπτά, ξεπλύνετε καλά και σκουπίστε.
  • Για τις εδώδιμες ρίζες (πατάτες, καρότα, γογγύλια κλπ.) μπορείτε να χρησιμοποιήσετε καθαρό, μαλακό βουρτσάκι για να αφαιρέσετε καλύτερα τα υπολείμματα από τη φλούδα τους. Ψεκάστε με το υγρό καθαρισμού φρούτων και λαχανικών και/ή ξεπλύνετε με άφθονο κρύο νερό. Σκουπίστε και στεγνώστε τα.
  • Τα φυλλωδη λαχανικά (σπανάκι, μαρούλι, πράσα κλπ.) πλένονται αφου αφαιρεθούν τα εξωτερικά τους φύλλα. Στη συνέχεια, μπορείτε να τα βυθίσετε σε νερό με υγρό καθαρισμού φρούτων και λαχανικών, ξύδι ή απλώς κρύο νερό. Αφήστε τα για λίγα λεπτά. Στραγγίστε και ξεπλύνετε. Στεγνώστε απαλά με μία πετσέτα ή στραγγιστήρι σαλάτας.
  • Ευαίσθητα φρούτα όπως τα μούρα κάθε είδους (εκτός από τα σμέουρα που δεν πλένονται) μπορείτε να τα βυθίσετε σε νερό με υγρό καθαρισμού φρούτων και λαχανικών ή σκέτο κρύο νερό. Μην τα αφήσετε να μουλιάσουν. Ξεπλύνετέ τα και στραγγίξτε τα αμέσως με στραγγιστήρι σαλάτας. Με τον ίδιο τρόπο μπορείτε να πλύνετε και τα σταφύλια, αλλά σας προτείνω πρώτα να τα κόψετε σε μικρότερα τσαμπιά με ένα ψαλίδι κουζίνας.
  • Τα σμέουρα μπορούν να καθαριστούν με ένα μικρό πινέλο ζαχαροπλαστικής.
  • Τα μανιτάρια επίσης δεν πλένονται. Σκουπίζετε ελαφρά όπου χρειάζεται με ένα υγρό πανάκι ή χαρτί κουζίνας.

Γενικά:

  • ακούγεται τραβηγμένο αλλά δεν πρέπει να επιτρέπετε στα παιδιά να πιάνουν τα άπλυτα φρούτα και λαχανικά
  • καλό θα ήταν να κρατάτε τα φρούτα και τα λαχανικά εκτός ψυγείου για όσο το δυνατόν μεγαλύτερο χρονικό διάστημα μιας και η διάσπαση των φυτοφαρμάκων γίνεται καλύτερα εκτός ψύξης
  • προτιμάτε φρούτα και λαχανικά εποχής γιατί στα εκτός εποχής έχει γίνει κατά τεκμήριο μεγαλύτερη χρήση φυτοφαρμάκων!
  • φρούτα και λαχανικά που ξεφλουδίζονται για να καταναλωθούν χρειάζονται επίσης πλύσιμο καθώς ρύποι και βακτήρια μπορούν να μολύνουν το μαχαίρι σας και να μεταφερθούν στη σάρκα καθώς κόβετε το φρούτο
  • μη χρησιμοποιείτε ποτέ χλωρίνη για να καθαρίσετε φρούτα, λαχανικά ή άλλες τροφές!

Το υγρό καθαρισμού φρούτων και λαχανικών ECOS απομακρύνει ρύπους, κερί και έλαια χωρίς χλώριο ενώ είναι ιδανικό και για μούλιασμα. Δεν αφήνει οσμή και γεύση στα προϊόντα σας, είναι άμεσα βιοδιασπώμενο, vegan (δεν περιέχει ζωικά συστατικά) και cruelty free (η φόρμουλά του έχει αναπτυχθεί χωρίς πειράματα σε ζώα).

In an 1875 St. Nicholas Magazine* cumulative tale, In an 1875 St. Nicholas Magazine* cumulative tale, an old woman bakes a gingerbread man, who leaps from her oven and runs away. The woman and her husband give chase but are unable to catch him. The gingerbread man then outruns several farm characters in repetitious scenes featuring an ever-growing cast for the tale's effect. Each time he escapes, he chants a list of those he has steered clear of and bets he can avoid the next character too: “I've run away from a little old man, a little old man and the old lady, and I can run away from you—I can!”
